le foot, c'est pas bien

Went to the Café de la Gare to eat with Liz and Frank and watch le foot, the friendly match between England and France. France wouldn't have scored at all had it not been for a remarkably dodgy penalty and England might have scored had any of their players been any good. They were all Chelsea/Liverpool/Wigan players and that was just the French... though of course the French didn't play Chimbonda, the ex-Wigan boy. Just as well.
(No idea how to spell Chimbonda, thats a phonetic version of his name. Chant it and you'll know who I mean.)
But seriously - you'd think that the boy David would have run about a bit for his 100 th cap - I guess I'm just a sentimentalist. Seems like yesterday he was a god, but actually it was a demi-decade ago.
So, here is what we drank:



Though that wasn't all - there was more of the same ( its very good) and then café cognac. The trick is to pour brandy on a sugar cube and sip the coffee through it. Very good for the health of the body, the teeth and the brain.
28th Mars, the self same Café de la Gare in Tilling has a Soirée Cubaine avec Latino Power. After that there is a disco au M'k for raising funds for the handball club of Couiza (Avenir Handball Couizanais). Be still, my trembling heart...
